Robert Nesta “Bob” Marley (February 6, 1945 — May 11, 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers (1964—1974) and Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974—1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited for helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.

GAME 47: Blazers (25-21) vs Boston Celtics (34-10)
Previous match-up(s): December 1st, Portland 95 Boston 99
January 27, 7:30PM, TNT
Related: Blazers Games, Schedule,WIN Tickets

The Blazers got caught looking ahead earlier in the week against the Kings, they get to attempt to rebound tonight against the Eastern Conference powerhouse Boston Celtics.

The only place where the Celtics are vulnerable is on the glass. Unfortunately for the Blazers, without Marcus Camby, they won't be able to exploit that as well as they could've before Camby's injury.

A huge challenge for the Blazers will be somehow slowing down the Celtics' point guard Rajon Rondo. Who is much faster than Andre Miller and a lot more experienced than Patty Mills.
